NARCISSISM FOR SURVIVAL

among other news

robots direct & patrol
the killing grounds hellscape

no wonder this generation
embraces the improved reality
of the photo filter drop down

their white picket fence
is in the handheld glass
that soft mirror
their minds can mould

& impossible bills
are piled up just so
& backlit as a backdrop
for another instagram shot
of a perfect lunch sandwich

SITCOM EXPLORATION VOL 3 & 4

build them of grit & balls

let the dark truths
scream

out
the
tv
cave

ridicule the very firmament

in 30 minutes of satirical art 

please

~

be a crazy mirror

not a middle england filter

no laughter-track 

no soft-sap sop

show us we ARE twats -

please

thats freedom

~

but its a moral fudge
    thats
    melted & pelted down

    thru the lock-on tube

    they throw it at you
    after-thought style

between hatchback & soda-pop ads

between family bank & getaway ads

~

show us we ARE twats -

please

thats freedom

POETS JOB

CLOUD ODE

good morning clouds 
shall i describe you again ?
i
hope
you
are
not
tired
of
me
looking

your constant motion soothes
like
fire
or
sea
and you filter so well
the moons
bland anger
and
the suns 
blank gaze

you sail closer to us 
than their hard edges 
so
thank you clouds
for
your patience
and
calming
sky
tv
